This chapter is from the book

The
30 exercises
that
follow
allow
you
to test
your
knowledge
with
SUSE
LINUX
Enterprise
Server
9 at
an advanced
level.
As with
those
that
preceded,
the
vast
majority
of these
exercises
can
be done
from
the
console,
but
you
might
find
it helpful
to have
at least
one
client
connected
to the
server.
Once
again,
the
ideal
client
for
most
purposes
is the
Novell
Linux
Desktop.

Step-by-step
solutions
to these
exercises
appear
in Chapter
4, "Solutions
to Exercises." Table
3.1
lists
the
objectives
and
prerequisites
from
the
courses
used
to prepare
for
the
Novell
CLE
(Certified
Linux
Engineer)
9 that
this
section
covers
and
which
exercise
each
of those
tasks
can
be found
in.
Where
possible,
every
objective
that
could
have
an exercise
associated
with
it is
represented
here
at least
once.

NOTE

The
two Novell courses that are recommended
for CLE 9 study, and from which
these objectives are derived,
are numbers 3057 (SUSE LINUX Network
Services), and 3058 (SUSE LINUX
Security).

Alabama
Cement

You are an administrator for a company that owns a number of independent
concerns. One of those entities, Alabama Cement, has purchased an SLES 9 server,
and you have been assigned to go to the site and install the operating
system.

Someone will be following after you to install the proprietary software the
site needs in order to do its specialized tasks. Your assignment is merely to
perform a normal installation of the operating system.
